[.j-WIV?! ,r ifc,j t J H ' .» i4 The high point of our pre-deployment preparations and training was marlted by our par- ticipation in the Portland Rose Festival, June 1973, when we were flagship for the Rose Festival Flotilla commanded by Rear Admiral James S. Kern. The city of Portland, Oregon, greeted us with a friendliness and enthusiasm rarely seen. We stayed in Portland three days and four nights, hosting of- ficial visits, giving guided tours to over 6000 guests, and embari ing visitors for our cruises both up and down the beautiful Columbia River. The Rose Festival trip transits provided excellent training op- portunities in preparation for our deployment.
